Following the blockbuster battle between Tony Bellew and David Haye earlier this year, the two nemeses will once again go to war in The Rematch at The O2 on Sunday December 17, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

After seven months of intensive rehabilitation, two-weight World champion David “The Hayemaker” Haye is looking to wreak revenge on Bellew and prove to any doubters that he is still one of the most dangerous Heavyweights on the planet.

David Haye said on the return: “I’m excited to give the public The Rematch they truly crave, ever since the explosive first showdown earlier this year.

“On March 4, the script was thrown out the window and the unpredictability of sport revealed itself in its most raw form.

“Without question ‘The Bomber’ showed great heart, grit and determination to weather the early storm. Credit to him, that he’s willing to step back into the lion’s den and do it all over again.

“He somehow won the lottery in our first fight, but believe me, he won’t win the lottery twice.

“I’ve been training every day for over six months. I already feel fitter, stronger and more athletic than I did for our first showdown!

“On December 17, I will relish the opportunity to re-write the ending of the Haye Bellew story.”
